Relevance 

The L1CAM gene, which is located in Xq28, is involved in three distinct conditions: 1) HSAS (hydrocephalus-stenosis of the aqueduct of Sylvius); 2) MASA (mental retardation, aphasia, shuffling gait, adductus thumbs); and 3) SPG1 (spastic paraplegia). The L1, neural cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) also plays an important role in axon growth, fasciculation, neural migration and in mediating neuronal differentiation. Expression of L1 protein is restricted to tissues arising from neuroectoderm.

Notes 

L1CAM can be detected between 200-220 kD. In brain samples it is typically seen at ~ 200 kD. When the protein is overexpressed in vitro it is often detected as a doublet with bands at 200 and 220 kD. The unglycosylated, unprocessed L1CAM is ~ 140-150 kDa. The protein has 21 putative N-glycosylation sites on the extracellular portion of the protein which, when they are all glycosylated, results in a detected MW of 200-220 kD depending upon how many residues are actually glycosylated. L1CAM can be cleaved by the metalloprotease ADAM10 resulting in fragments of 180 kD and 40 kD. L1CAM can also be cleaved by plasmin resulting in fragments of 140 kD and 80 kD. In theory, therefore, one could detect bands at ~220, 200, 180, 140, 80 and 40 kD.

ab3200 at a dilution of 1/1000, staining L1CAM (green; Alexa 488 secondary at 1/2000) on 30µm coronal rat brain tissue sections in free floating IHC (see protocol link for detailed description). Images showing neuron body, cytoplasm and axon labeling: [A] neuron; 40x objective [B] neuron and axons; 40x objective and [C] punctate cytoplasmic labeling. Images coloured in Photoshop.

NB: No labeling observed following omission of primary antibody.

Sections were viewed using an Axioplan 2 Imaging microscope (Imaging Associates) fitted with 10x, 20x and 40x Plan-Neofluorobjectives (Zeiss, Germany) and images were taken using a AxioCam Hrm digital camera (Zeiss, Germany) and AxioVision software (Imaging Associates).
